1 answer:

Answer:

(x - 1) (x + 1) (x - 4) (x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

actor the following:

x^4 - 17 x^2 + 16

x^4 - 17 x^2 + 16 = (x^2)^2 - 17 x^2 + 16:

(x^2)^2 - 17 x^2 + 16

The factors of 16 that sum to -17 are -1 and -16. So, (x^2)^2 - 17 x^2 + 16 = (x^2 - 1) (x^2 - 16):

(x^2 - 1) (x^2 - 16)

x^2 - 16 = x^2 - 4^2:

(x^2 - 1) (x^2 - 4^2)

Factor the difference of two squares. x^2 - 4^2 = (x - 4) (x + 4):

(x - 4) (x + 4) (x^2 - 1)

x^2 - 1 = x^2 - 1^2:

(x^2 - 1^2) (x - 4) (x + 4)

Factor the difference of two squares. x^2 - 1^2 = (x - 1) (x + 1):

Answer: (x - 1) (x + 1) (x - 4) (x + 4)

hello :

let :    Z1 = 2-4i       Z2 = 6+i  

the distance between Z1  and  Z2 is :

/Z2 - Z1 / = /(6+i)-(2-4i)/ =/4+5i/ = √(4²+5²) =√41

1. The midpoint of KL is M(5, -7). One endpoint is K(9,-7). Find the coordinates of the other endpoint L.
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

L (1, - 7 )

Step-by-step explanation:

give endpoints (x₁, y₁ ( and (x₂, y₂ )  then the midpoint is

( \frac{x_{1}+x_{2}  }{2} , \frac{y_{1}+y_{2}  }{2} )

here (x₁, y₁ ) = K (9, - 7 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = L (x, y )

use the midpoint formula and equate to corresponding coordinates of M

\frac{9+x}{2} = 5 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

9 + x = 10 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

x = 1

and

\frac{-7+y}{2} = - 7 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

- 7 + y = - 14 ( add 7 to both sides )

y = - 7

Then L  = (1, - 7 )
